golf - South Africa's fine fairways

Few countries have golf links in such close proximity to each other as South Africa, and standards are high

South Africa’s fairways play host to many international tournaments every year; each in its own providing unique experiences and challenges.
Twenty top standard courses are within easy reach in and around Cape Town alone. Of note is Erinvale that hosted the World Cup in 1996.

Out on the coast, near Hermanus, the Western Cape Hotel & Spa has been awarded a number of international prizes over the years for its beautifully designed par-72 course on the banks of the Bot River Lagoon.

Continuing up the coast along the classic Garden Route, near George, the exclusive Fancourt Hotel and Country Club, with its three Gary Player designed 18-hole courses, one of which is Links Style, should not be missed.

South Africa´s most challenging course

Further east you’ll find the classical and beautifully situated Durban Country Club.

But the ultimate choice for more advanced players must be luxurious Zimbali, on the Indian Ocean, reputed to be the most forbidding course in South Africa (a title it’s now being forced to defend as the Knysna’s Sparrebosch Golf Club comes into its own).

Golf in a safari setting

Sun City is PGA renowned, while only the inner circle is familiar with the links in nearby Brits.

In Limpopo province in the north of the country it is not uncommon for wild animals from Kruger Park to roam the fine fairways of Hans Merensky Golf Club. And if this does not bring you close enough to Africa, you can tee-off in the national park itself.

We book your tee-off and clubs

No matter where you go in South Africa and irrespective of the amount of time you spend on the greens it is easy and relatively inexpensive to rent equipment and get off to a good start. We know the courses and we know the climatic conditions, which can vary considerable from area to area.
So, if you intend to swing the clubs just once or twice during your stay, or are going for the golfing holiday per se, Liberty International and South Africa will provide an out of the ordinary never to be forgotten golfing experience.
